- Abstract:
-
The conditions for forest growing in the southeast of the European part of Russia and on the Loess Plateau of China are compared.Common features and differences in the functioning of artificially planted forest ecosystems in these regions are analyzed,and the strategy for sustainable afforestation is suggested.It is shown that additional water supply at the expense of the redistribution of atmospheric precipitation is necessary for forest growing in the studied regions; In the Loess Plateau of China,this could be achieved via regulating rainstorm run off,and in Russia,via snow retention measures and via regulating snowmelt run off.
